A photochemical reactor for studies of atmospheric kinetics and spectroscopy has been built at the Copenhagen Center for Atmospheric Research. The reactor consists of a vacuum FTIR spectrometer coupled to a 100 L quartz cylinder by multipass optics mounted on electropolished stainless steel end flanges, surrounded by UV-A, UV-C and broadband sun lamps in a temperature-controlled housing. The combi
The kinetic isotope effects in the reactions of CHCl3, CDCl 3, and 13CHCl3 with Cl, OH, and OD radicals have been determined in relative rate experiments at 298 ± 1 K and atmospheric pressure monitored by long path FTIR spectroscopy. The spectra were analyzed using a nonlinear least-squares spectral fitting procedure including line data from the HITRAN database and measured infrared spectra as ref
The “nativisation” of welfare provision implicitly accepts the SD’s redefinition of refugees as undeserving others and gives credence to its chauvinistic welfare policies. Not only does the restriction of entitlements to non-native Swedes effectively constitute a symbolic bordering practice that circumscribes a restrictive and nativistic understanding of national identity, where solidarity is rese
In a gas turbine engine, the low pressure turbine (LPT) and the outlet guide vane (OGV) part are connected in the rear part. The outlet nozzle is designed as a contracted part to increase the ejection velocity and a pocket cavity (PC) is formed at this location. In this research work, the effects of the locations of the PC on the downstream endwall with a symmetrical vane (SV) are investigated and
This study aims to investigate the environmental, operational and economic performance of the methanol partially premixed combustion concept at slow speed operation of a ship to find a solution for the shipping emission effect on the coastal settlements while do not increase the risk and expense of the engine operation on the ships. The experimental study was done with partially premixed combustio
Hypoglycaemia is common in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes and has both acute and long-term consequences. Therefore, a key to proper glucose-lowering therapy in diabetes is to avoid or prevent hypoglycaemia. Incretin therapy (DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists) offers an advantage in this respect, because it reduces glucose with a low risk of hypoglycaemia, both in monotherapy and in com
The mechanism of stabilizing a turbulent premixed methane-air flame using warm filamentary plasma is investigated by using laser diagnostics. First, stabilization of a turbulent jet flame is demonstrated in a setup using a pin-to-pin plasma discharge. The coupled plasma-flame structures were visualized utilizing planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) of formaldehyde (CH2O) and methylidyne radica
Popular Abstract in Swedish För att lungorna ska utvecklas normalt hos ett däggdjursfoster, måste lungorna vara vätskefyllda. Det har länge varit kännt att denna vätska produceras av lungorna själva, genom s k klorid-sekretion. Vid födelsen måste det nyfödda fostret börja andas och därför är det ytterst viktigt att lungorna snabbt töms på vätskan som fanns där under fosterutvecklingen. Detta sker Alveolar fluid clearance is driven by active absorption of Na+ across the alveolar epithelium. Development and hormonal regulation of alveolar fluid clearance over 1 hour was studied by instillation of a protein-containing, isosmolar fluid into lungs of fetal, newborn, and adult guinea pigs. After 1 hour, a sample of remaining alveolar fluid was collected and the change in protein concentration wa
In this paper an approach for improving robot machining accuracy through simulation-assisted path planning within Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) tools is investigated. The method comprises modeling of dynamic robot behaviour under influence of process forces and a subsequent simulation of the robot motion which results in an offline prediction of deflection errors during the machining task.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hem är en liten molekyl som förekommer som aktiv grupp i många viktiga proteiner, t.ex. hemoglobin, katalas och cytokromer. De hem-innehållande proteinerna är livsnödvändiga för alla djur och växter, samt många bakterier. Kemiskt sett, är hem en porfyrin (en annan känd porfyrin är klorofyll) som innehåller en järn-jon. Bakterien Enterococcus faecalis är en vanliThe gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecalis is a commensal organism, often found in the gut of humans and other animals. It can cause opportunistic disease and it frequently causes nosocomial infections. Treatment of such infections is often impaired by this organisms broad intrinsic and acquired resistance to antibiotics. E. faecalis uses homo-lactic fermentation for energy pr
An ensemble of LDPC convolutional codes with parity-check matrices composed of permutation matrices is considered. The convergence of the iterative belief propagation based decoder for terminated convolutional codes in the ensemble is analyzed for binary-input output-symmetric memoryless channels using density evolution techniques. We observe that the structured irregularity in the Tanner graph of
